2 Kings 17
…they [the Ten Tribes of the Northern Kingdom of Israel] did wicked [religious] things to provoke the LORD to anger, 12 for they served idols [took part in pagan practices and heathen religious customs], of which the LORD had said to them, “You shall not do this thing.”

13 Yet the LORD testified against Israel… by all of His prophets…saying, “Turn from your evil [religious] ways [your idolatrous traditions and pagan holidays], and keep My commandments and My statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by My servants the prophets.” 14 Nevertheless they would not hear [stiff-necked and hard-hearted], but stiffened their necks, like the necks of their fathers, who did not believe in the LORD their God. 15 And they rejected His statutes and His covenant that He had made with their fathers, and His testimonies which He had testified against them; they followed idols [their self-righteous religious traditions that amounted to spiritual adultery, mixing and matching pagan error with biblical truth], became idolaters, and went after the nations who were all around them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them that they should not do like them. 16 So they left all the commandments of the LORD their God [to keep their own traditions and wallow in their baptized paganism]… and [prostituted] themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger. 18 Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them from His sight…

Most folks imagine those who need to repent are the immoral, the adulterers, the liars, the promiscuous, those who engage in the practice of homosexuality, who have abortions, who abandon their children, who rape and steal and murder. And such sinners are in serious need of a change of heart and actions, so help them God. However, notice God’s condemnation of our Israelite forefathers concerned their “evil ways,” the “evil” they weren’t ashamed to commit in front of God that led to their eviction notices: pagan religious practices and “harmless” traditional heathen customs!

Ancient Israel, like apostate Christianity today, thought it was perfectly acceptable to mix and match pagan error with biblical truth, even though God’s Word clearly forbids it! “You shall not do this thing.” They were told, time and again, God rejected their traditional religious beliefs, their evil ways, but they wouldn’t listen to His warnings to return to His ways, His holy commandments, and reject their popular pagan practices and whitewashed heathen ways (Deuteronomy 12: 30-32; Jeremiah 10:2) .

Ancient Israel, like apostate Christianity today, claimed their worship, their offerings, their sacrifices, were to the God of the Bible but He rejects such unclean, impure, adulterated worship and exposes it as demonic! (Deuteronomy 32:16-18; Psalm 106:36-38; Amos 5:25-27).

The two witnesses of the Bible and history testify against proud Christian idolatry and stubborn Christian iniquity and leave us without excuse (1 Corinthians 10:10-12).

1 Samuel 15
23 For rebellion and is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD [to keep your own traditions], He also has rejected you…

Hosea 4:6
Because you have rejected knowledge [the biblical Sabbath and festivals], I also will reject you… Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

Mark 7
“Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: ” ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 7They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.’ 8You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men.”

9And he said to them: “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!… 13Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.”

Traditional Christians – who put their traditions above God’s commands – are nothing but a nation of drunks and whores who have been living a lie.

“Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet. Declare to my people their rebellion and to the house of Jacob their sins. 2 For day after day they seek me out; they seem eager to know my ways, as if they were a nation that does what is right and has not forsaken the commands of its God” (Isaiah 58:1-2).

The sinful election of the Gentile Barack Hussein Obama is further evidence of the divine punishment upon this nation for its idolatry and immorality, for living a lie, for rejecting the plain truth, for preferring the mass delusions of SUNday, Christmas and the big lie of Easter (2 Thessalonians 2:11; 2 Timothy 4:4)- all pagan Gentile religious lies that lost and wandering Israelites have shamefully chosen over the plain truth of the Bible, the biblical Sabbath and biblical festivals (Jeremiah 16:19), even though we’ve been warned: “You shall not do this thing.”

Epitaph for America?

“…they did wicked religious things to provoke the LORD to anger, for they took part in pagan practices and heathen religious customs every Christmas and Easter, of which the LORD had said to them, “You shall not do this thing.”

Yet the LORD testified against the United States and British-Israelite nations… by all of His servants, saying, “Turn from your evil religious ways, your idolatrous traditions and whitewashed pagan holidays, your pagan fertility symbols that pollute the land, that you’ve inherited and carelessly passed down from generation to generation, and keep My commandments, My seventh day Sabbath and My holy days.” Nevertheless they would not hear [being proud and stubborn, stiff-necked and hard-hearted]… And they rejected the plain truth of the Bible and the covenant that God had made with their fathers, and His indictments which He had testified against them; they followed their self-righteous religious traditions that amounted to spiritual adultery, blending pagan error with biblical truth [1 Corinthians 10:19-21; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18], concerning whom the LORD had charged them that they should not do like the pagans before them who were destroyed and to remember how Israel and Judah were deported for such unclean things. So they rejected all the commandments of the LORD their God to keep their evil ways and tote their traditions and wallow in their baptized paganism, and prostituted themselves to do what’s dead wrong in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger. Therefore the LORD was very angry with the United States and British-Israelite nations, and removed them from His sight…”.

How long before the United States’ economy collapses, anarchy reigns with chaos and confusion, and the German-Jesuit EU takes full advantage of our situation and deals us the death blow? God let ancient Israel and Judah suffer national destruction, defeat and deportation for their modified pagan holidays. Do we foolishly think God will permit our evil religious ways, our idolatry and immorality, to continue unchecked?
